Name: Malachi MacDougall

Nickname: Mal

Species: Otter

Gender: Male

Rank: Skipper of Otters in Mossflower

Appearance: Rather lean and rangy for an otter, Malachi has been known to joke at times in his Highland brogue, "Ah've got hare bluid en mah family." His eyes are a piercing steel grey and his fur a dark brown. He usually wears a tan tunic and a knee-length kilt in his clan's colors, red, green, navy blue and white; as well as rough leather armor and a simple, strong cord around his neck with a tiny wooden figure of three carved otters on it, two big ones standing together holding a little one, a pendant his mother carved of her family.

Weapons: Malachi carries a sling and stones and the Iron Banshee, a well-balanced, razor-keen claymore with otter runes carved into both sides of the blade, running from hilt to tip flanking the blood channel that spell out: "justicia quod veneratio" on the right, on the left the runes spell "tutor verum."

Justicia quod veneratio: (Latin: "justice and honor") Tutor verum: (Latin: defender of truth)

Personality: Malachi's a loyal, honest beast with a warm personality, though reserved at times he's extremely hard-working, outgoing and brings out the best in others.

Background: Malachi was born to a pair of wandering rovers, Aengus and Moira MacDougall. In his own words: "Ah kenned war at a young age, mah Da fell under the blades of seascum when ah was a wee bairn." The pair were attacked by searats, Aengus giving his life so Moira could escape with Malachi. Moira managed to get her infant son to safety despite two arrows in her back, slip her pendant around his neck and hand him into safe paws before she died.
